Flying debris
Noise
Electricity
Vibration
General
Please read the operating instructions carefully before using the machine
for the first time. Observe all safety information while operating the
machine.
Make sure that
-
you are familiar with all safety information.
all users of the machine have been made aware of and
understand the safety information
Use of the ENVIROSTAR should be restricted to authorised persons who
have been briefed on the safe use of the machine based on the user
manual, these notes and assessments of the specific work tasks, which
are to be carried out. (Note that the user manual should be carefully
consulted before use of the machine and in relation to any maintenance
work - the manual highlights specific hazards, which are not discussed in
this general safety guide.)
Children should not operate this machine.
Young persons, as defined by 94/33/EC, should be supervised. Young
persons should have their proposed scope of work made the subject to an
individual risk assessment.
Careful thought should be given where young people are to use the
machine or where lone working is involved.
Before commencing operations with the ENVIROSTAR ensure that the
proposed work site is clear of all spectators, livestock and pets, that the
unit is securely located, that the transport trailers wheels are chocked and
that all necessary personal protection equipment is being worn by all
personnel involved in the operations.
-7-
Before use the machine should be subject to a visual inspection by the
operator to ensure that all guards are in place, all fastenings are secure,
that hoses and ancillaries do not contain any residual debris from
previous work and that there are no signs of blockages or of fuel or oil
spills.
Where the machine is trailer mounted and is to be towed to the
workplace, normal road user checks of tyres, lights and security of the
trailer and any ancillaries or tools carried on it should be completed
before moving off. Where it is mounted or carried on some other
equipment it should be checked for security and to ensure that the load
conforms to road transport regulations before being taken onto public
roads.
When operating the ENVIROSTAR the power unit should always be within
the view of the operator, who should periodically monitor that the power
unit remains in a safe and stable position. Do not leave the machine
unattended with the engine running.
In most if not all modes of use, ear protection should be provided for
operators and eye protection will be needed where there is any risk from
flying debris. Footwear should be chosen to minimise risks of slipping and
to provide suitable protection to the operator’s feet (circumstances will
vary with specific work tasks).
Do not operate the power unit in a confined space or any area where
exhaust fumes may build up
No adjustments or repairs are to undertaken whilst the engine is running.
Only spares authorised by ENVIROSTAR Ltd should be used in the repair
or servicing of the ENVIROSTAR, the use of un-authorised parts will
render any warranty claims void.
All input ducts, input piping and output ducts are to be fitted and secured
before the engine is started.
All moving parts on the equipment are guarded and the engine is
automatically cut out when guards are opened. The equipment should
never be used when any of the safety devices are inoperative.
Despite the safeguards operative should never attempt to reach inside
any part of the equipment without turning off the engine and removing
the key. Operators should avoid wearing loose clothing such as ties,
scarves etc.
-8-
The Place of Work
When used at a static works site ENVIROSTAR should always be
positioned on firm level ground and should be chocked or made
secure in some other way to avoid movement as a result of
vibration or other cause. Where the machine is mounted on some
other equipment (rather than on its own trailer similar precautions
will be needed to ensure stability and to avoid unwanted movement
during use.
The machine should always be sited so that the output duct is
directed into a safe area (which is clear of workers, members of the
public or materials which might be damaged by flying debris).
Where there is any doubt that this area can be kept clear the need
for signs or barriers should be considered. The engine should only
be run in well-ventilated areas - normally outdoors.
Similar precautions may be needed to keep people clear of areas in
which hoses are being used (whether for blowing, vacuuming or
washing). Ancillary tools should never be used close to other
individuals nor should they ever be pointed at them.
If hoses or the output duct become blocked or appear to be blocked
the machine MUST be switched off before any attempt is made to
inspect or clear any part of the equipment.
Before beginning work a general inspection should be undertaken of
any areas of proposed blowing or vacuuming work for any
unexpected materials, such as metal fragments, glass, stones etc.
ENVIROSTAR will blow or vacuum most materials of this type but
risks from flying debris will be increased and additional precautions
may be needed.
The potential effect of noise and dust on others working or passing
nearby should be carefully considered.
Any spare fuel or oils, which are taken to work sites, should be
carefully stored well away from heat or ignition sources and with
smoking prohibited in such areas. Where ENVIROSTAR is to be refuelled it should be switched off and allowed to cool for a few
minutes before the cap is removed from any fuel container and fuel
is poured.
9
Use of the Vacuum
Specific hazards
Fire Hazard
Do not use the vacuum to collect materials that are on fire or
smouldering embers/ashes, etc as this may cause fire in the
machine or the collection receptacle.
Ensure that the collection receptacle is sufficiently robust to cope
with any potential puncture hazard, which may be associated with
the material, which it is proposed to collect.
It is essential that sufficient air is allowed to access the vacuum
pickup head in order that maximum efficiency is maintained.
Do not attempt to use the vacuum on loose gravel or on liquids.
Work involving animal waste/Biological Contaminants
Specific Hazards
Biological Hazards
Where the equipment is used in the disposal of animal or other
waste which may pose biological hazards specific assessments
should be undertaken and methods of work devised to ensure the
safety not only of those undertaking this work but of others who
may use, inspect or maintain the equipment.
10
Use of the Blower
Specific Hazards
Wear
Eye Protection
Flying Debris
When blowing material always wear Eye protection
Ensure that all personnel are at least 15m from the operations
Use of the Bagger
Specific Hazards
Sharp Objects
Use the appropriate filter to ensure that dust hazards are kept
within acceptable limits.
If using the ENVIROSTAR to pick up glass, cans rubbish or similar
materials, exercise extra caution when changing or handling the bag
as sharp objects may penetrate the bag.
Do not overfill the bag as the filter assembly and the output duct
may become clogged.
When handling heavy bags, ensure that the correct lifting technique
is used. If in doubt get help before attempting to lift bags and if
necessary consider using mechanical lifting aids.
11
Use of the Chipper
Specific Hazards
Machine Blockages
Wear Eye
Protection
Hazardous substances
Vibration
Wear Hand
Protection
Flying Debris
Wear Ear
Protection
Some plant material may be poisonous or may cause skin or eye
irritation. Checks may be needed before work begins. It is
suggested that skin is kept fully covered, eye protection is used and
that suitable gloves are used to protect the hands during this work.
The chipper input chute has been designed to minimise the risks of
anyone reaching moving machine parts. Operators should however
use the custom designed prodder supplied to push materials into
the cutters rather than reaching into the hopper.
Material leaving the output duct may travel up to 15m and is
capable of causing injury. Ensure that all personnel are aware of
this and keep clear of the output area and that the containment
provided is capable of arresting all debris produced by the
ENVIROSTAR.
Anti Vibration protective gloves should be worn at all times by
operators whilst feeding material into the chipper chute.
12
Use of the High Pressure Washer
Specific Hazards
High Pressure
Wear Eye Protection
Never direct the spray jet at any person or animal
Never hold a finger, or any other body part, over the high-pressure
nozzle
Never direct the spray jet at the ENVIROSTAR itself or at any
electrical equipment.
After use; release the pressure in the high-pressure hose by
operating the pistol trigger. Do not attempt to disconnect any hose
or coupling with pressure still in the hose.
When not in use disconnect the drive to the unit.
Never supply any liquid other than water to the water inlet.
Use only chemical cleaning agents (detergents) approved for power
washing, when using the chemical injection system.
Never use the chemical injection facility to introduce solvents.
eg. paint thinner.
Do not operate the pressure washer standing on ladders: Use a
platform or scaffolding
Children should not operate the pressure washer.
Wear eye protection when using the pressure washer.
Do not use the high pressure spray on vehicle tyre walls, which can
be badly damaged by the force of water.
Do not use the washer at temperatures lower than + 40 C
13
Use of the Generator
Warning
In common with all electrical equipment a risk of electrical shock
exists when using this generator. Always check and where
necessary replace power cords, plugs and equipment before
attaching them to the ENVIROSTAR.
Periodic inspection of the power outlet sockets and the overload
breaker is recommended. A qualified electrical engineer should
repair any damage immediately.
Never plug the generator directly into household circuits.
Always ensure that the ENVIROSTAR earthing point is connected to
a suitable earth.
Never operate the generator at maximum power for more than 30
minutes.
When using extension cords ensure that they are suitable for
outdoor use adequately rated and provide earth continuity.
Do not allow the ENVIROSTAR to generate electricity if it cannot be
protected from adverse weather conditions.
14
Inspection and maintenance
See Section 8 for maintenance intervals and details of items
requiring maintenance and inspection.
Additional Inspection
In addition to user checks before use (see above) routine
inspections are advised to ensure that the machine and its
ancillaries remain safe for use. The frequency of such inspections
will vary with the nature and frequency of use of the equipment but
should include:
Inspection of all guards and testing of safety cut outs
Inspection of top bolts securing the lifting points
Inspection and testing of the emergency cut off switch
Check the security and sharpness of cutting blades
At not less than weekly intervals.

6.1 General Precautions.
Warning
Before commencing operations with the ENVIROSTAR ensure that
the proposed work site is clear of all spectators, livestock and pets,
that the unit is securely located, that the transport trailers wheels
are chocked and that all necessary personal protection equipment is
being worn by all personnel involved in the operations.
It is recommended that certified ear, eye, hand and foot protection
is worn when operating the ENVIROSTAR.
When operating the ENVIROSTAR the power unit should always be
within the view of the operator, who should periodically monitor
that the power unit remains in a safe and stable position.
Warning
Do not operate the power unit in a confined space or any area
where exhaust fumes may build up.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odourless colourless poison
gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.
23
Warning
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or dangling items that could
become caught.
Warning
Running engines produces heat. Engine parts, especially the
exhaust, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch
fire.
Allow the exhaust, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
Remove accumulated combustibles from the exhaust area and the
cylinder area.
Danger
Items leaving the output duct (or hose) do so with extreme velocity
and should be directed into a suitable containment, personnel
should be kept clear at all times.
24
6.2
Fuelling, Starting and Stopping the engine.
Warning
Take care when handling petrol. Petrol is highly inflammable and
the vapours that it gives off are explosive.
Store petrol
- in properly approved containers only
- in a room to which children have no access
- in a room that is protected from heat or sparks
Do not refill the fuel tank in an enclosed space or while the engine is
running or hot.
Clean around the fuel filler cap before removing. When filling use a
fine gauze funnel to ensure that the petrol is free of all foreign
matter.
Fill the tank to approximately 4cms (1½”) below the top of the neck
to allow for fuel expansion.
Be careful not to over fill.
Stay away from naked flames when filling the tank and do not
smoke or do anything that could generate sparks.
On completion of fuelling ensure that the engine fuel tank filler cap
is correctly replaced.
If spillage of fuel occurs ensure that all spilt fuel is removed before
continuing.
Be sure spark plug, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place. Do not
crank engine with spark plug removed.
Recommended Fuel
The engine is a four-stroke unit and requires unleaded petrol. Use
clean, fresh, Lead – free petrol with a minimum 85 octane.
Do not use fuels that contain Methanol
Do not mix oil with the petrol
25
Recommended Oil
Engines shipped from ENVIROSTAR are filled to the correct level
with an appropriate grade of oil. Always check the oil level before
starting the engine. Do not overfill.
Use a high quality detergent oil classified “for service SF, SG, SH,
SJ” or higher such as Briggs and Stratton 30W. Do not use special
additives with recommended oils.
Do not mix oil with petrol.
Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from the chart that matches
the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil change.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2 API certification mark and
API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher is
acceptable oil for all temperatures. USE OF SYNTHETIC OIL DOES
NOT ALTER REQUIRED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS.
Air-cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. The use of
non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, Etc) in
temperatures above 4OC (400F) will result in higher than normal oil
consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil check oil level more
frequently. SAE30 oil, if used below 4oC (400F) will result in hard
starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate
lubrication.
Check oil level (Approximate capacities)

Material is fed into the unit via the input duct, where it is turned
into chippings & ejected from the output duct into a suitable
containment.
Experience will be the users best guide to the rate at which material
can be processed, a useful guide to how much material the chipper
can cope with is the engine revolutions, if they fall dramatically
reduce the amount of material being fed in. Adjusting the engine
speed control may help but permanently running the engine at
maximum revolutions will reduce engine life.

When using the ENVIROSTAR, do not wear scarves, ties or other
loose items of clothing, which may become entangled.
The mulcher is capable of handling soft pliable material. Do not feed
hard materials into the chute as it will cause damage to the
machine and could potentially cause injury to the operator. Material
fed into the chute is is ejected from the output duct into suitable
containment.
Experience will be the users best guide to the rate at which material
can be processed, a useful guide to how much material the mulch
chute can cope with is the engine revolutions, if they fall
dramatically, reduce the amount of material being fed in. Adjusting
the engine speed control may help but permanently running the
engine at maximum revolutions will reduce engine life. If material
gets stuck in the chute, use the prodder to push the material into
the machine. Materials should be pushed down the input duct using
the flat end pusher supplied. Never under any circumstances push
material down the chute with your hand.
Do not lean over and reach into the chute.

6.9 The Pressure Washer
The pressure washer consists of a high-pressure pump mounted
inside the main power unit. The connections for water input, highpressure output and detergent input are all made using
conventional quick disconnects. Provision is made to adjust the
washing pressure.
Safety precautions
Never direct the spray jet at any person or animal.
Never hold a finger, or any other body part, over the high-pressure
nozzle.
Never direct the spray jet at the machine itself or at any electrical
equipment.
After use; release the pressure in the high-pressure hose by
operating the pistol trigger.
When not in use disconnect the drive to the unit.
Never supply any liquid other than water to the water inlet.
Use only chemical cleaning agents (detergents) approved for power
washing, when using the chemical injection system.
Never use the chemical injection facility to introduce solvents e.g.
paint thinners, petrol or oil.
Do not attempt to disconnect any hose or coupling with pressure
still in the hose.
Do not operate the pressure washer standing on ladders: Use a
platform tower or scaffolding.
Children should not operate the pressure washer.
Wear eye protection when using the pressure washer.
Do not use the high pressure spray on vehicle tyre walls, which can
be badly damaged by the force of water.
Do not use the pressure washer at temperatures lower than + 40C
On no account must the pump be run dry for longer than a few
seconds.
The ENVIROSTAR pressure washer pump is self-priming and can be
connected to a mains water supply tap or to a suitable reservoir e.g.
a tank or bowser. Although self priming it has been found that
having the water source slightly higher than the input on the
ENVIROSTAR, allows quicker starting and reduces wear in the water
pump.
The detergent input is also self-priming. NB Turn OFF black lance
knob to use additive.
41
Connecting to the pressure washer
First ensure that the engine is stopped.
Connect the input hose to the input quick connect; ensure an
